New studio and a new jacket

We've been really busy moving to our new and cozy PopLove studio.  The new space is great and makes the creative process much more creatively fun.  We've been working on a new jacket, a super-futuristic-Renaissance type one.  It's nice and structured and of course it's made from recycled materials.  We've made it in cream color and in a size small, but more colors and sizes are to follow. 

Also in the works are a sexy stripy skirt and a patchwork dress...

For now checkout the pics of the new jacket!

Seasonally Inappropriate

Well, I've just got back from an awesome vacation in Canada to see my family, and I'm coming to realize the HUGE difference (at least regarding the weather) between here and the rest of the world. I had a super-amazing time hanging out with my family and doing a whole lot of nothing :)
One of the things I'd forgotten is how much I love wearing sweaters! I just don't get much of a chance over here, which is probably why we're nearing November and our newest shirts are backless >_<
That said, you've got to admit - these are pretty awesome.

 

So, on that note, we've been trying out a few more "seasonally appropriate" designs. I'll keep you updated, promise!

Treasury fun

Letely we've been enjoying creating online collections of items that we like from fellow Etsians. Etsy is a great place to find all type of creative handmade items online. So here's a couple of our recent collections, called "treasuries".

Enjoy!

Autumn = chilly fingers

I love autumn. It's always been my favorite time of year. Here in Israel, you don't get much of an autumn since anyways the winters here are just like a good old Canadian fall. BUT this year, I'm in luck! Next Sunday I'll be sitting my toosh on a plane back to Canada to soak in all the changing leaves, ripe apples and chilly breezes I can handle!

Anyway, one of our newest items here are some adorable fingerless gloves! I've always had a thing for them; I hate regular gloves because I have abnormally long fingers and always seem to poke holes in them, and I can't stand mittens because you just can't do anything in them! Fingerless gloves are the perfect solution, plus, they're just a little bit punky-looking and I love that. Here's a few samples, we'd love to hear what you think!

By the way...

We did a fashion show back in July. I never realized it, but we never posted any photos from it! Probably because the day before the show our compy had a nervous breakdown and we didn't have a proper computer for a month, but I digress.

It was a smashing hit, and looked so amazing! We had some great help from a few super-talented people like Talya Friedman (co-coordinator), Whitney Wright (makeup artist), and a few beautiful models as well. If you couldn't make it check out the photos:

Oh my! An update!

Well, I'm a little late with this post, but I suppose the old saying still applies... anyway I've got something fun to post about. We've been working on a new top and it's finally up and ready for you to check out! It's a new & improved version to our previous "rock'n'roll" top... but what do you call something that's more rockin' than rock'n'roll?? Heavy Metal! Alright, so what's so different about it? First of all, besides the awesome chains in the back, we' added a satin ribbon tie at the bottom (it's hard to see in the photos, check it out in the etsy listing). Besides that, it's also DOUBLE-SIDED! Inside plain black, outside, Jackson Pollock-style paint splatter in white. So check it out, it's our new Heavy Metal top. Questions, comments and critiques are, as always, muchly welcomed.

Etsy Treasures

Hi! I know that in my last blog post I said I'd be blogging a lot more, and that until now I haven't followed though with it... sorry! Anyway, I had the idea to share some of the wonderful treasuries we've been featured in on Etsy, so from now on, I'll be posting a treasury each day that we've been featured in. For anyone who's not Etsy-literate, a "treasury" is a list of goods available for sale on Etsy that has been put together by the site's members. With literally millions of things for sale, it's pretty awesome to be featured :)
Check out this one by MerryRoseBerry:


It's called "Recycled Wardrobe Treasures" , and I love the whole concept, especially that everything here is made from recycled materials!

I'll be back a lot more often now with new posts, I promise!

By the way, what do you think of the new layout? We're still playing with it, so we'd love to hear your feedback.

Cheers!
Andrea
